If you are looking to get in touch with a specific person, please contact the University’s alumni office on alumnioffice@contacts.bham.ac.uk. If we have their contact details on record we will be able to pass your details on to them by phone/email/letter, it is then up to that alumnus if they respond. For example, if John wishes to contact Susan, we can forward a message containing John’s contact details. We are unable to forward a message without John’s details or without John’s permission to do so. It is then up to Susan if she would like to respond directly to John.
